Question

question 3 of 25
which is the immediate result of stopping the glycolysis process?
a. an increase in the creation of pyruvate outside the cell
b. a decrease in the transport of glucose
c. a decrease in atp production in the krebs cycle
d. an increase in nadh in the cytoplasm

Explanation:

Glycolysis produces pyruvate. Pyruvate is needed for the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle). The Krebs cycle produces ATP. If glycolysis stops, less pyruvate is available for the Krebs cycle. So, ATP production in the Krebs cycle decreases.

• Option A: Pyruvate is made inside cells (in glycolysis), not outside.
• Option B: Glycolysis doesn't directly affect glucose transport.
• Option D: Glycolysis makes NADH, but stopping it would decrease, not increase, NADH from glycolysis.

Answer:

C. A decrease in ATP production in the Krebs cycle
